Danmachi: Gacha Draw

As a frequent visitor here, Hermes urged Link to turn left and right, quickly navigating through the complex lobby and entering the inner pavilion.

Walking through the inner terrace, one can see the elegant atrium, adorned with transparent ponds and filled with sparkling fireflies.

The fireflies dance gracefully.

The "Scared Deer" bamboo, holding back the water in the center of the pond, occasionally floats upward, making a crisp sound.

After reaching the innermost corner and the largest annex, in front of the Amazon woman guarding the annex door, Hermes wore a gentlemanly smile on his face as always.

However, he had no intention of stepping forward.

He raised his elbow, tapped Link's shoulder beside him, and spoke in a voice that only the two could hear.

"Quickly, Link, it's your turn~"

"Eh? What do you mean?"

For a moment, Link was confused.

Who had just said they wanted to bring him to see the new world?

Why did he back down before he even entered the door?

"Ahem, Link Bro... It costs money to visit Night Street; do you understand what I mean? Likewise, it also costs money to enter the interior of the highest-level museum. Do you understand?"

Suddenly, Hermes coughed twice in embarrassment.

He had actually taken the initiative to find Link today.

Besides being very interested in Link, there was another reason.

That means he didn't bring any money... 

'To be precise, I wasn't forced to bring money. '

Before he left for the night, Hermes remembered that he had clearly put the money and the energy potion in his bag. 

But after arriving at Night Street, he found that the money was missing from his bag! 

As expected, Asfi had secretly taken out the money to destroy his desire to visit Night Street. 

So much so that Hermes was ready to give up. 

But when he turned around and was about to head back, he saw Link behind him. 

No, this gave Hermes hope once again! 

"Oh... you didn't bring any money?" 

Link looked at Hermes with an expression that said, "Something's wrong with you."

This stressed the self-proclaimed knight out greatly. 

After all, he is a god, but he doesn't bring money when he visits prostitutes, and he actually wants to pay for their services for free? 

Isn't that polite? 

"I'm sorry, little Link! Just this once! Just this once, okay? This is my once-in-a-lifetime request! I'll definitely make it up to you if we meet again in the future!" 

Hermes lowered his head, clasped his hands, and bowed slightly, his tone sincere and pleading. 

Once again, Link realized the unreliability of gods in this world. 

The ancients said that one should not bend at the waist to eat rice. 

As a god, you actually bowed down and begged just so you could visit a prostitute. 

A once-in-a-lifetime request seems too cheap in this context. 

There were so many thoughts in his mind, but Link still sighed, took out a bag of coins from his pocket, and handed it to Hermes.

"Go and negotiate. Remember to return the rest of the money to me." 

"Oh! Wrap it up for me!" 

After each person paid 20,000 Valis for entry, Link and Hermes entered this luxury villa. 

It's more expensive than the ones outside.

He remember that at that time it only cost 10,000 Valis… 

The entrance fee here is only 20,000 Valis, and he don't know if there will be other fees. 

"Link, the women here generally don't go out to pick up customers, right? Although they do go out and stay in the cubicle outside for a while at a fixed time every day, at night they stay here and wait for high-end customers to come." 

After entering the annex, Hermes smiled again and began to explain to Link, who was visiting this kind of place for the first time. 

"Brother Link, you see that this villa has five floors, right? Generally speaking, the prostitutes who are most eager to be favored by customers will stay on the first floor. To make money, the first floor is also the most popular place." 

"Then there's the second floor. Since they can't compete for the position on the first floor, some prostitutes will settle down and wait on the second floor. After all, they need to compete for customers." 

"But in reality, it's not the same for guests. You can compare according to this rule. This is true for the third and fourth floors." 

Hermes spoke eloquently.

As a frequent visitor and veteran driver here, he really knows a lot! 

"So, according to this rule, which floor will Brother Link go to today?"

Hermes put his hand on Link's shoulder and asked.

Judging by his expression, he probably wanted Link to make the decision.

When the time came, wherever Link went, he would follow.

Not for any other reason, just because there was no money.

Being on the same floor was not enough; it would be better if they were in adjacent rooms!

Otherwise, if he woke up the next day and found that Link had left him and run away, Hermes would really cry.

When the Goddess Ishtar found out that he had come to visit a prostitute, he would certainly die miserably.

"Hmm... the fifth floor, perhaps."

Without thinking too much, Link followed his instincts and replied.

"Eh? It's the fifth floor. Brother Link has a good eye~"

"Why do you say that?"

"There are some prostitutes who aren't worried about having no customers, so they quietly wait for the lucky one tonight on the fifth floor. Do you understand? However, most of them are very expensive~"

That is, those who are good-looking and somewhat famous in this field.

Should that be called confidence?

"By the way, I still have an energy potion here. Brother Link, do you want another bottle?"

"No, just put it away. I don't need this."

Funny; ten times a night, he does need this?

Entering the fifth floor, there was a musky smell in the air that made people somewhat excited.

Link walked in front the entire time, and Hermes followed closely behind.

It seemed like he truly intended to find an adjacent room with Link.

Link ignored him and followed his feelings.

Compared to the lively and noisy atmosphere below, the fifth floor was incredibly quiet.

Going around a circle of corridors, Link finally stopped in front of a paper door, inexplicably feeling as if he were drawing a card.

After all, there could be beautiful women or ugly women. 

He hope my feeling is not bad... 

He also hope that his lucky ability can help him, and even if isn't Haruhime, be one beautiful.

After taking a short breath, Link opened the paper door and entered.

Hermes raised his eyebrows upon seeing this, and his eyes lingered on the left and right sides of the room where Link entered.

Finally, he chose to enter from the left side, and the hallway returned to silence.

The room was very dark and seemed to be a lounge, with some kind of grass carefully woven at his feet.

It was somewhat similar to tatami in Link's impression, but it was very soft to step on.

It was not surprising that it was some kind of plant unique to dungeons.

In the entire room, only a minimal light was revealed in front of Link.

It was a crack in the door, which seemed to have been deliberately left open.

The light of the magic stone revealed within it seemed somewhat similar to gold.

As the paper door was gently opened, a soft voice disturbed a girl who was watching the moonlit night through the round window.
